Music on Main

Bring a chair and join us Fridays in July and August for an evening of Music on Main street. Music on Main is a collaboration between Morrisville Alliance for Culture and Commerce and River Arts to bring more foot traffic to local businesses on Friday evenings. Set up your chair at the Gazebo and then stroll over to Pizza on Main for a slice or down to Tacos and Tap for a plate to enjoy the company of neighbors.


The Michele Fay Band features original and Americana music that brings forth a comfortable groove of folk, swing, and bluegrass-influenced songs that are woven seamlessly together. Michele’s heart-felt lyrics are central to the ensemble, as she sings with a clear, authentic voice accompanied by guitar and banjo. Tim Price adds ideal melodic instrumentals on the mandolin and guitar, while Kalev Freeman works his “lilting” fiddle. Michael Santosusso provides tenor harmonies and drives a dynamic beat with upright bass.

Her “crack backing band”, a perfect match for Michele’s talent as a singer-songwriter, adds to the charm and sincerity of these songs without detracting from their earnest messages.  Their repertoire provides a mix of understated originals and well-placed traditional covers, played and sung with relaxed polish, personality and taste.

The band’s performances are both energetic and unpretentious, appealing to a wide range of audience. Its growing musicianship is increasingly being well received throughout the region as it continues to gather its well-deserved recognition.
